of Macedonia, Macedonian

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

(extended). The ancient empire north of Greece proper, whose greatest kings were Philip and Alexander the Great. Often visited by Paul, who made here his first European converts (Acts 16:9-12; 17:1-15; 20:1-6).

Concise Bible Dictionary:

The northern part of Greece as divided by the Romans. It contained the cities of Neapolis, Philippi, Amphipolis, Thessalonica, Apollonia, and Berea. Paul saw in a vision a man of Macedonia, who said, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.” To this he at once responded, believing it was a call from the Lord, and thus the gospel extended to Europe. The churches of Macedonia were specially commended for their liberality (Acts 16:9-12; Acts 18:5; Acts 19:21-22,29; Acts 20:1,3; Rom. 15:26; 1 Cor. 16:5; 2 Cor. 1:16; 2 Cor. 2:13; 2 Cor. 7:5; 2 Cor. 8:1; 2 Cor. 9:2,4; 2 Cor. 11:9; Phil. 4:15; 1 Thess. 1:7-8; 1 Thess. 4:10; 1 Tim. 1:3).
